Keone Hon from Monad Lianchuang stated: "I feel that the lending protocol for the liquidity pool should set rate limits on the supply of assets deposited as collateral. For example, if the current supply is 100 million and the supply cap is 300 million, then in the next 10 minutes, the maximum allowed increase should be to 110 million, rather than allowing a one-time deposit of the full 200 million. In reality, no one needs to complete such a large deposit all at once.This is important because when certain exotic assets are attacked, the impact depends on the scale of the exit channels for that asset. Especially in many cases where attacks belong to infinite issuance vulnerabilities, the scale of the exit that can be made essentially determines the upper limit of the attack losses. Lending protocols are often the largest exit channels. If a smart cap is introduced, where the initial cap is slightly above the current supply and is gradually adjusted to the real cap over several hours, it would have a huge effect. With such a mechanism, rsETH depositors could have avoided about 200 million dollars in losses.This also raises a point: the asset issuers themselves should support such mechanisms. If you are issuing redeemable tokens with redemption delays, you are not worried about hackers redeeming directly from you, but you need to compress the scale of external exit paths as much as possible without affecting normal users. Therefore, a high supply cap should be seen as a risk rather than a symbol of strength. For example, the Hyperbridge DOT attack did not result in a 100 million dollar loss because there were very few exit paths; the Resolv attack loss was 24 million dollars instead of 200 million dollars because the scale of the exit path limited the loss cap. This is an obvious principle, but there are still immediately actionable measures: audit the supply caps of all assets and lower the caps when unnecessary."

According to Hong Kong Radio, the Hong Kong government has decided to stop promoting basketball gambling projects. The Secretary for Home Affairs and Youth Affairs, Mak Mei-juan, stated in an interview with this station that the information collected by the authorities shows that the "prediction market" has developed rapidly in recent years, with monthly trading volume increasing from less than $100 million two years ago to over $13 billion last year, of which nearly 40% of the transactions are related to sports. The authorities are concerned that if new gambling projects are promoted at this time, it will lead to greater public concern and even participation in illegal gambling in the "prediction market." Therefore, it is believed that research should be conducted first before deciding on the next steps, and the promotion of new gambling projects should be halted for now.Mak Mei-juan stated that the existing regulated gambling projects have established a more mature monitoring and management system, which can help control risks. However, due to the uncertainty of the "prediction market," as a responsible government, there is a need to conduct research to understand the impact of the "prediction market" and its prevalence in Hong Kong. She also mentioned that the government has always maintained close contact with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, as the club has a rigorous monitoring system to oversee illegal gambling situations, and there are experts specifically targeting the fight against illegal gambling. The government will cooperate with the Jockey Club to obtain professional advice, allowing the authorities to implement measures specifically aimed at illegal gambling.Mak Mei-juan reiterated that the government's consistent policy is not to encourage gambling, and betting on sports projects in the "prediction market" is considered illegal gambling. The authorities will strengthen public education to help citizens understand the harms of gambling and refrain from participating in illegal gambling.

According to CoinDesk, the driving factors behind the expansion of Plasma's TVL are not yet clear, but may be related to optimistic expectations regarding the potential approval of the U.S. CLARITY Act.

Trump has messed up, and the US-Iran war is likely to end with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz (collecting tolls), which the US does not legally recognize (but tacitly accepts). This is America's Suez Canal moment. (In 1956, Britain lost control of the Suez Canal, which is seen as the end of the British Empire's global hegemony.) The bear market cycle is not over yet; event-driven rebounds are all opportunities to add shorts. There is also a small probability of fighting again. This is a short to medium-term operation, just like last time when I went long at $1850 and closed at $2144."
